IATA AVSEC WorldMIAMI, FLORIDAFEB 26, 2019

• Complete the “unfinished business” of the Beyond the Border Action Plan• Industry groups provided ideas to further streamline free-flow movement of low risk

travelers and goods, but Beyond the Border 2.0 did not happen

• Address the Challenges of Forecast Growth in International Traffic:• Need to add 38,000 officers to current base of 84,000 in next 20 years • Requires $30 billion in new operating costs

• Advance New Process Convergence, Technology & Risk ManagementSolutions:

• Close the growing gap between resources/capacity to handle growth• Integrate/combine air travel processes using Biometric Single Token• Use travel/trade history for Probability-based Risk Management

Public-Private Policy Partnership Model

• Cost-Recovery not fully sustainable model in the long term• Need to move to shift to a P4 model

• Public-Private-Policy Partnership• Strong ROI for both Industry and Government

• ABC/PIK/APC Model is good example• Airports/Airlines invested in technology• Governments invested in back end systems• Industry ROI=capital deferment, faster processing and

better customer experience• Government ROI=reduced staffing, future cost avoidance

• New agreements to be implemented• Opportunities for greater collaboration

for next generation models• Eliminating re-screening with one-stop

security important progress, but longer-term vision needed

Applied Research Approach Needed

• Airport Cooperative Research Program• Great model to conduct research

• Oversight from airports, airlines, government, academia• Problem Statements Model ensures continuous research• Housed within globally recognized Transportation Research Board (TRB)

• Research on future of Preclearance• Limited At Present• Some joint testing & evaluation, but limited at product level• We need to ensure that people-process-technologies and space

planning are hollistic

1. Adopt a Remote Clearance Approach

Pilot Projects2. Screen Once, Accept Multiple Times

3. Trusted Secure Token

4. Move Away from Fixed Checkpoints to Clearing Flows

5. Harness Big Data for Risk Management

Travel HistoryTrade History

Better RiskManagement

Precleared Low Risk

• Previously confined to voluntary programs (e.g., registered traveler programs)

• Changes to RT model in Europe• Move towards making sure there is an in-person

review of every single third-country national

• More work needed• Positive data sharing as much as negative data

sharing (“derogatory”)• Example – CAN+ Visa• Travel history review• Blockchain models/UNHCR

Implications for AvSec1: Data Sharing

Implications for AvSec2: International Cooperation & Recognition

Mexico accepting Japanese Visaas equivalent for Chinese visitors

One stop security expansion

UK/NZ/Australia cooperation onvisa application centres

Mutual recognition

Simplification of visa processingand replacement withtravel authorization (e.g., ETA)

Digital IDs

Implications for AvSec3: Role of Technology

• Smart security was an important driver – but more significant power needed for efficiencies

• Remote processing• Higher throughput for border/security controls

• Privacy by Design needs to be built in• 7 foundational principles• Complexity around access (e.g., blockchain ledger) • Europe is a great model to start, but

implementation of GDPR mixed

YVR AVIATION BORDER SUMMIT II
